Hotel Galini Sifnos
Sea-view rooms in Apollonia, buffet breakfast included
About this hotel
Hotel Galini offers straightforward, comfortable rooms in Apollonia with sea views from the balcony despite the chora's inland, hilltop position, a small detail that makes the hotel stand out on the ridge. A daily housekeeping service and free on-site private parking cover the practical side, and streaming services in the room are a nice touch for a quiet evening in after a day of exploring. The buffet breakfast with fresh pastries and cheese sets guests up before a day out, whether that means walking the chora's lanes or driving down to Kamares Beach, 6 km away, or Chrisopigi Monastery, 7 km south. Guests rate the stay 9 out of 10 here, and it is earned on a genuine sea view rather than a glimpse, the sort of detail that matters more on a small island than a long amenities list.

Our take
Galini is a dependable, comfortable choice for a chora-based stay, with the sea view from the balcony a genuine bonus given Apollonia's hilltop setting. It suits travellers planning to use Apollonia as a base for driving around the island. Anyone wanting beachfront rooms specifically should base themselves in Kamares or Platis Gialos instead.
- ✓Choose a sea-view balcony over a village-view one if the option is available at booking
- ✓Use the free on-site parking as a base for day trips rather than moving the car daily
- ✓Have breakfast on the balcony rather than the lounge area if the weather allows
Why we love it

- Free on-site private parking
- Central Apollonia location
Why guests love itHotel Galini sits in Apollonia, the main village of Sifnos, with air-conditioned rooms, private bathrooms and balconies with sea views. A buffet breakfast with fresh pastries starts the day, and free parking is useful since Kamares Beach is about 6 km away and Chrisopigi Monastery about 7 km. I would choose it for families or couples who want village evenings on foot and are happy to drive to the beach; a 9.0 score from 122 reviews shows a consistent, well-run stay.
